Susan and I spent a Saturday afternoon scoping out the best vintage spots in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (AKA, Hipster Capital, U.S.A. for the uninitiated) to bring you guys some incredible new ideas for wearing old clothes. Your local thrift shop most definitely has some version of all of this stuff, I promise. Nothing we're wearing is designer, none of it costs more than that $25 coat, and all of it is primed for a quick little makeover. Check out what we did with this once-hideous granny suit--pretty unbelievable, right?

There are a dozen more genius ideas just like this one in The Dos and Don'ts of Vintage! Click through, get a few ideas, then head to your local vintage store/Salvation Army/thrift shop and start shopping. I hope your $25 will be as well spent as mine...

What do you guys think? Which of our totally transformed looks do you like best? And has our little story inspired you to do some vintage shopping of your own? Share!
